A king mackerel's lateral line drops.

I don't know if this pic will work

A spanish mackerel's lateral line stays straight with a little bit of a wave to it.

That was my son and he ended up catching 25!! They were all dinks (hard drop in every lateral line-including the one in the pic) and they were all released. From what I could tell, they all survived but two or three. He caught all of them with gotchas!!! Yeah, he went through 10 gotchas in the process. His largest was 23" - just under!!!!

We'll be back out on Sunday. He want's to fish for the big ones this time!

easiest way to tell the difference, check the dorsal fin.... if it is DARK BLACK, it is a spanish.... if it is grey, it's a king... you can often tell this when the fish is in the water...

:Yeah i was out there yesterday and i really thought they were spanish and they kept throwing them back saying they were kings thanks for the clearing up on that.....
